“…The pulling force may vary in different situations, such as different friction coefficient, different distance from the mobile car. Nevertheless the results in [7] of increased drag pull by the active tether seem to be accurate. At the same time, the results from the drag test prove the benefits of active tether on pulling capability.…”

“…Its basic function is to actively control the tether's tension and length. A. Birk and C. Condea [7] set up glass fiber via a cable drum as cable deployment system on mobile robots, which makes the tether lightweight, thin, and very robust. In this paper, we focus on the use of a continuously distributed form of actuation resulting from an effect commonly known as "water hammer" [8] [9].…”

Most small robots require a tethered connection with a power and control source. The tether has advantages, namely robust communication and safe recovery, and disadvantages, tangling with obstacles and rough terrain. Active tether is a new research area for tethered robot systems. It provides continuously distributed form of actuation for robots that results from the effect of water hammer. It also reduces the friction of the tether by the jerks from the water hammer effect. In this paper, we duplicate the active tethered system and test the performance of the active tethered system by comparing it with passive tethered system under our test conditions for mobile robot. The two experimental comparison tests are distance test and drag test, which all show the advantage of the active tethered system. Furthermore, we address the broad impact of this novel form of locomotion.

“…Swarm intelligence has been applied to homogeneous robotic system [ 11 , 14 ] which is simple robots. But in [ 9 , 15 , 16 ], they used a group of various types of mobile robots which is defined as heterogeneous swarm robotic system. Most of the research on swarm mobile robotic system is focusing on communication systems among mobile robots [ 11 , 15 , 16 ] in order to share information, focusing on developed autonomous battery recharging [ 17 – 19 ] to have fully autonomous swarm robots without human intervention, focusing on developed navigation system [ 3 ] in order to run mobile robot without loss, focusing on developed management and optimization of energy system based on adaptation from biologically swarm behaviors [ 12 , 19 , 20 ], focusing on development of physical robot (small robot or macrorobot) [ 1 , 11 , 21 ] or simulated tools for swarm robotics [ 22 – 24 ].…”

Deploying large numbers of mobile robots which can interact with each other produces swarm intelligent behavior. However, mobile robots are normally running with finite energy resource, supplied from finite battery. The limitation of energy resource required human intervention for recharging the batteries. The sharing information among the mobile robots would be one of the potentials to overcome the limitation on previously recharging system. A new approach is proposed based on integrated intelligent system inspired by foraging of honeybees applied to multimobile robot scenario. This integrated approach caters for both working and foraging stages for known/unknown power station locations. Swarm mobile robot inspired by honeybee is simulated to explore and identify the power station for battery recharging. The mobile robots will share the location information of the power station with each other. The result showed that mobile robots consume less energy and less time when they are cooperating with each other for foraging process. The optimizing of foraging behavior would result in the mobile robots spending more time to do real work.

“…Many experimental mobile robots still have a connection to the environment via cable either for power supply or for realtime or high-speed communication [6] [12] [13]. But true mobility can only be reached when a robot can act completely autonomously without physical connection to a fixed place.…”

-Research on humanoid robots for use in servicing tasks, e.g. fetching and delivery, attracts steadily more interest. With Rollin' Justin a mobile robotic system and research platform is presented that allows the implementation and demonstration of sophisticated control algorithms and dexterous manipulation. Important problems of service robotics such as mobile manipulation and strategies for using the increased workspace and redundancy in manipulation task can be studied in detail. This paper gives an overview of the design considerations for a mobile platform and their realizations to transform the formerly table-mounted humanoid upper body system Justin into Rollin' Justin, a fully self-sustaining mobile research platform.
